I only have a price range of like £45 max. - Must ship to the UK! lol. Requirements are below : AMD Athlon 64 Support (starting at 3000+/3200+ but will be upgrading to 3800+ so bare that in mind) 1x PCI-Express x16 2x PCI 2x S-ATA 1x IDE 4 RAM Slots [184 DIMM] On-board sound (2.1 at least) Standard ATX preferable Any recommendations? Thaaaaaaaaanks! edit// whoops, my first post and I put it in the wrong topic ;/ Could someone move this to the Motherboards board please, lol - sorry.
ASrock Dual-SATA2 fits all those criteria and costs £43.42 in total, can't think of anything else at under £45
Welcome to the forums, you don't have too many choices, technically almost none if you include shipping. I'd probably pick something like the Asus A8N5X nForce4 as you have a good solid motherboard based on a proven chipset, however it is £50 even without shipping. Or maybe an ASRock but they are based on the ULi chipset which I don't think is quite as good.
Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 (Socket 939 & Upgradable to AM2) AGP & PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-002-AK) £43.42 incl. VAT OcUK just put them up the other day, decent boards from what most people here say. Review here Also thinking of picking up one since I still have a AGP graphics card
another thing going for them is they have that AM2 expansion thing as well, as well as PCI-E x16 and AGP, there a bargain at that price and there getting some good reviews
